GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 305 



genera, the first, in Cremna Doubleday, 1847 {List Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. AIns. 2 : 14), of which 

 it is the type-species, the second, in Napaea Hiibner, of which (as has been seen) it was (under 

 the misapplied name Napaea actoris (Cramer) the sole originally included species. It would 

 be most confusing if it were now necessary to transfer the name Napaea Hiibner to the genus 

 now and for long known by the later name Cremna Doubleday. To do so would moreover do 

 violence to the clear intention of Hiibner to place in his genus Napaea not the true Papilio 

 actoris of Cramer but the species which by a mistake in identification he figured as Cramer's 

 species on his plate [34]. Accordingly, the Commission is being asked to apply to this case 

 the provisions of Article 70(a) relating to the names of genera based upon misidentified 

 type-species and to give effect to Hiibner's intentions by designating Cremna eucharila Bates to 

 be the type-species of the genus Napaea Hiibner. In accordance with the provisions of Article 

 80 existing usage is here maintained, pending the publication of the Commission on the 

 application submitted. Accordingly, Napaea Hiibner is here treated as having the above 

 species as its type-species, while Cremna Doubleday (type-species : Papilio actoris Cramer), 

 which at present is a junior objective synonym of Napaea Hiibner, is here treated as an 

 available name in accordance with established usage. 



NAPEOCLES Bates, 1864, /. Ent. 2 (10) : 194. Type-species by monotypy : Hamadryas 

 jucunda Hiibner, [1808], Samml. exot. Schmett. : pi. [54], figs 3, 4 $. 



NAPEOGENES Bates, 1862, Trans, linn. Soc. Lond. 23 (3) : 533. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. ArtsSci., Boston 10 : 224) : Sais cyrianassa Doubleday, 

 [Aug. 1847], Gen. diurn. Lep. (1) : pi. 18 (Heliconidae), fig. 1 [text published in Jan. 1848 

 ((1) : 133)]- 



NAPHO Hewitson, [1849], Proc. tool. Soc. Lond. 16 (187) : 117. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio aclorion Linnaeus, 1763, Amoen. acad. 6 : 409. 



The name Napho, which was attributed by Hewitson to Boisduval, by whom it had presu- 

 mably been originally proposed in manuscript, is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym 

 of Bia Hiibner, [18 19]. 



NARATHURA Moore, [1879], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1878 (4) : 835. Type-species by original 

 designation : Amblypodia hypomuta Hewitson, 1862, Specimen Cat. Lep. Lycaenidae 

 lirit. Mus. : 11, pi. 6. figs 63, 64 o". 



NARGA Mabille, 1891, Bull. C. R. Soc. ent. Belg. 35 : lxx Type-species by selection by Watson 



(1893, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 130) : Narga chiriquensis Mabille, 1891, ibid. 35 : lxx. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Narga chiriquensis Mabille is currently 



treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the 



nominal species Tagiades monartus Plotz, 1884 [JahrB. nassau. Ver. Naturkunde 37 : 49). 



NARMADA Moore, [1880], Lep. Ceylon 1 (1) : 13. Type-species by original designation : 

 Euploea coreoides Moore, 1877, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 20 : 44. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Euploea coreoides Moore is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-estab- 

 lished nominal species Danais coreta Godart, [1819] (Ency. mith. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 178). 



NAROPE Doubleday, [1849], Gen. diurn. Lep. (3) : pi. 50, fig. 4. Type-species by monotypy: 

 Narope cyllastros Doubleday, [1849], ibid. (3) : pi. 50, fig. 4 [text prepared by Westwood 

 after Doubleday's death, published in [1851], ibid. (2) : 348]. 



Doubleday cited only the above species (on plate 50) when he established this genus in 

 1848, thus making that species the type-species by monotypy ; Westwood in the text pub- 

 lished two years later cited two additional species as belonging to this genus. 



NAROPINA Rober, 1929, Int. ent. Z. 23 : 326. Type-species by monotypy : Narope 

 pusilla Rober, 1929, ibid. 23 : 325. 



Rober established the genus Naropina as a kind of afterthought, after he had described the 

 type-species in the same paper. Thus it was that, although these nominal taxa were pub- 

 lished in the same paper, the type-species of Naropina, though then described as a new species, 

 was not described as belonging to the new genus Naropina then established.
